Rankings from AP Poll

The 1950 California Golden Bears football team was an

AP Poll, and outscored its opponents 224 to 90.[1][2] Home games were played on campus at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, California
.

The star of this season was guard and linebacker Les Richter, who years later became the first Golden Bear to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[3]

After California's third straight loss in the Rose Bowl in January 1951, the PCC invoked a "no-repeat" rule; affected teams were the 1954 UCLA Bruins and 1957 Oregon State Beavers.
